Hi Fourdee,
Your quick reply is appreciated.
This server has always been operated in headless mode. First attempt to run a desktop threw the error that prompted the original troubleshooting post.
Current Environment Settings:
- Autostart setting at 0 : Manual login (default)
- Installed desktop: XFCE
Executed Fix Action 1 as suggested:
- Removed /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Verified file removal.
- server deliberately rebooted
- Startx command run in console
- Same error thrown as originally reported, Except for any mention of file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Executed Fix Action 2 as suggested:
- Server deliberately rebooted
- ran G_AGI --reinstall linux-image-arm64-odroid-c2 linux-image-3.16.57+
- result shown below:
[ OK ] APT installation for: --reinstall linux-image-arm64-odroid-c2 linux-image-3.16.57+, please wait…

Really unsure what’s going on here but can still continue to function in headless mode. Just did clean install and reconfigs about one month ago. Will sucks if I have to do it again.
